Good to go against Clippers Poole (knee) is available for Thursday's game versus the Clippers.

Impact Despite a left knee contusion, Poole has been upgraded from probable to available Thursday. The 23-year-old guard is averaging 20.8 points, 5.8 assists and 3.0 rebounds in 31.9 minutes across his last 10 contests. Poole should continue to be a highly productive fantasy player while Stephen Curry (lower leg) is sidelined.

Likely to suit up Thursday Poole is probable for Thursday's game versus the Clippers due to a left knee contusion.

Impact Poole is expected to suit up Thursday despite dealing with a left knee bruise. The 23-year-old guard should continue to start in Stephen Curry's (lower leg) absence.

Posts game-high 29 points in win Poole recorded 29 points (10-24 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds and six assists in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 123-105 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Poole still wasn't efficient from the field, but volume alone allowed him to post a game-high 29 points, his most since Feb. 11. Over his last six appearances, the fourth-year guard is averaging 19.5 points with 36/28/82 shooting splits. His poor shooting makes him a risky play in category leagues, but he should remain a solid option in points leagues until Stephen Curry (lower leg) is cleared to return.

Poor shooting continues Poole logged 15 points (5-20 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals across 35 minutes during Sunday's 109-104 win over Minnesota.

Impact Poole was woeful from the field in the victory, shooting 4-of-20 overall and 1-of-9 from the three-point line. He has now shot under 40 percent in four of the past five games, placing him well outside the top 150 over that time. As a player whose fantasy value is heavily reliant on only a couple of categories, this is a good example of how players like Poole can quickly turn into a negative. He remains a must-roster player, but for some, his strengths may simply not outweigh his weaknesses.

Scores team-high 28 points Poole recorded 28 points (10-20 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six assists and two rebounds across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 134-124 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Poole has noticed a nice surge in his fantasy value since re-entering the starting five Feb. 6 in place of Stephen Curry (lower leg), who will be sidelined through the All-Star break and likely for a few more games to begin the Warriors' second-half slate. Over his last five starts, Poole is averaging 26.0 points, 7.2 assists, 4.2 triples and 3.2 rebounds in 32.8 minutes while shooting 48.4 percent from the field and 85 percent from the free-throw line.

Paces team with 29 points Poole closed Saturday's 109-103 loss to the Lakers with 29 points (11-25 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six assists, five rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 37 minutes.

Impact Poole once again submitted a fantastic performance while stepping in as the starting point guard in place of Stephen Curry (lower leg). Though his efficiency left something to be desired, Poole at least caught fire late in the contest, going 6-for-11 from the field en route to 17 points during the final stanza. His averages now sit at 29.3 points, 8.3 assists, 5.0 treys and 3.3 rebounds in 33.7 minutes in his three games since re-entering the starting five.

Lights up Blazers Poole contributed 38 points (13-25 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven assists and one rebound across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 125-122 loss to Portland.

Impact After dishing out a career-high 12 assists in place of Stephen Curry (lower leg) in Monday's win over the Thunder, Poole took a slight step back as a distributor but upped his contributions as a scorer, finishing with his third-best point total of the campaign. Though efficiency is often a concern for Poole, he's turned in a pair of strong shooting outings since re-entering the starting five, converting 21 of 39 field-goal attempts (53.8 percent) and 12 of 22 three-point tries (54.5 percent).

Jordan Poole is the Warriors' key to getting by without Stephen Curry Jordan Poole has filled in admirably for Stephen Curry before. Monday showed a glimpse of how he might do it this time around.

Dishes out career-high 12 dimes Poole finished with 21 points (8-14 FG, 5-10 3Pt), 12 assists and four rebounds across 29 minutes in Monday's 141-114 win over the Thunder.

Impact Poole had been expected to step into a heightened scoring role while re-entering the starting five in place of Stephen Curry (lower leg), and while he narrowly surpassed his season average in points (20.5 per game), the 23-year-old made his biggest impact Monday as a facilitator for Klay Thompson, who drilled a season-high 12 three-pointers. The 12 dimes were a new career-high total for Poole, whose previous spot starts in place of Curry had often been marred by low assist counts and inefficient, high-volume shooting. If he's willing to defer more to Thompson and turn his focus toward creating open looks for others while serving as more of a secondary scorer, Poole may be able to bring his fantasy value up a notch from where it was when Curry previously missed time in December and early January due to a shoulder injury.

Starting Monday Poole will move into the starting lineup for Monday's matchup with the Thunder, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

Impact This was the expected move with Stephen Curry (knee) going down, and with Curry not having a timetable and not likely to be back any time soon, it'll be a full-time Poole party moving forward. Over 30 starts this season, Poole has compiled averages of 24.9 points, 3.2 boards, 4.2 assists, 2.9 triples, 1.0 steals and 3.7 turnovers per contest on 44.1 percent shooting from the floor and 87.7 percent from the stripe.

Named starter in Curry's stead Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said that Poole will re-enter the starting lineup beginning with Monday's game against the Thunder while Stephen Curry (lower leg) is sidelined indef...

Impact Though he moved back to the bench in the Warriors' most recent game Saturday against the Mavericks after Kerr noted that big man Kevon Looney would play with the top unit moving forward, Poole won't have to wait long to get another extended look in a starting role. The Warriors haven't yet offered up a timeline for Curry to return to the court after he exited Saturday's game with the lower-leg injury, but multiple reports have suggested that the two-time league MVP will be out through the All-Star break, and likely additional games beyond that. Curry's upcoming absence should thus provide a reprieve for Poole, whose fantasy value had been trending downward along with his minutes over the last handful of games. While Curry was sidelined for 11 straight games for a three-week period in mid-December through early January, Poole averaged 27.9 points, 4.1 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 2.7 three-pointers in 34.5 minutes per contest.

Irrelevant in reserve role Poole had three points (1-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 27 minutes during Saturday's 119-113 win over Dallas.

Impact Coach Steve Kerr decided to run with more size in the starting lineup, causing Poole to begin the game on the bench for the first time in almost three weeks. Poole turned in an abysmal performance with only three points, but the dip in production is a trend that occurs when Poole plays a reserve role. Although the team utilizes Saturday's starting lineup with less frequency, those who depend on Poole should keep an eye on his status and potentially bench him when he isn't starting. If Stephen Curry's (leg) injury sidelines him next week, Poole is virtually a lock to start in the backcourt.

Coming off bench Saturday Poole will come off the bench Saturday against the Mavericks, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact After nine straight starts, Poole will come off the bench while coach Steve Kerr opts to start both Draymond Green and Kevon Looney in the frontcourt -- something he'd gotten away from lately. As a reserve this season, Poole is averaging 15.2 points, 4.7 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 26.8 minutes.

Drains four triples in loss Poole finished with 22 points (8-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Thursday's 134-117 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Poole finished second on the Warriors with 22 points Thursday, and he got to that mark on an efficient 8-for-15 shooting line. The fourth-year guard scored over half of his points from three-point range, where he went 4-for-8. This was a nice bounce-back performance for Poole, as he had averaged just 14.0 points on 36.4 percent shooting over his previous three games.
